Ming Diary

Chapter 87: Night Talk

"Brother Muwen, are you going back to the official office?" Gong Chen came forward and asked.

"Hmm..." Cao Muwen agreed, and it seemed that he was the same.

"Me too. Let's go together. Anyway, on this long night road, walking alone is boring and tight. Gong Chen was not polite. After saying that, he walked forward by himself, as if leading Cao Muwen.

The two walked silently and looked at each other for a time. Gong Chen didn't say anything, and so did Cao Muwen. The two walked back and forth like this.

Maybe it's really boring. Cao Muwen first felt that it was inappropriate and opened his mouth first. I don't know if Brother Gong was also invited by thousands of households in Pingzhangyuan. Why didn't I see you just now?

"Brother Muwen, you came late, and soon after, you went out alone with Wu Qianhu. At that time, I also went to another room. It seems that we came to each other unlucky, so it's a pity that we haven't met yet."

Cao Muwen smiled and said nothing. The two fell silent again.

The two walked silently for a while, until Gong Chen, who broke the embarrassing situation again, said: "That's right! Brother Muwen, don't you know what you think of that Chi Zhongrong?

The unexplained question surprised Cao Muwen. If he said Chi Zhongrong, this person's name is also a name now.

"How is Chi Zhongrong? Naturally, I haven't seen him. Have we fought with him? Naturally, I don't know who he is. In fact, until now, how about this 'Golden Dragon Overlord' and how about this Chi Zhongrong? It's not all transmitted by others, or revealed in various military newspapers. In fact... In this Nanchang City, there are not necessarily people who have really seen what he looks like?"

"Haha, Brother Muwen, you don't seem to have answered my question. He said a lot of unrelated things. Admittedly, you haven't seen this Chi Zhongrong with your own eyes, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but this does not prevent us from looking at him. Cough..."

Gong Chen said as he cleared his throat, as if he had something to ask.

At this time, he gently swept both sides. Now there is naturally no one else at this time. There is silence all around. Only one or two people occasionally hear from afar, and the street shops passing by have already been sampled early.

Gong Chen thought for a moment and said, "We have known why Chi Zhongrong rebelled and how he rebelled, but Brother Muwen, have you ever thought that these news and information are all seen by others. What others know, nothing we have experienced and personally understood? In fact... Brother Muwen, we are also good at guard, and some of them are clear."

When Gong Chen said this, Cao Muwen was curious. Is it possible that there was another secret for Chi Zhongrong's rebellion? Wait! Cao Muwen suddenly thought, how could Gong Chen be interested in this kind of thing? He was just a brocade guard. Could it be... Cao Muwen secretly looked at the man opposite.

Haha...

Gong Chen laughed softly as soon as he saw it. Cao Muwen showed a trace of preparation and asked, "What's so funny?"

"Ok, Brother Muwen, I won't fall to the point of being compared with those bandits. Naturally, you don't need to doubt me about this. I really don't have any intersection with Chi Zhongrong or anything, waiting for their... detailed work. If so, I wouldn't waste such a good time not to listen to any information and collect information, and discuss the 'Golden Dragon Overlord' with the Mu Wen brothers here.

When Cao Muwen heard this, he laughed dumbly. He was really a little nervous and hurriedly hugged his fist and apologized, "Ha ha, it seems that I'm too worried. Don't look outside."

"That's not true, haha, but Brother Muwen, please answer my question quickly."

"What you said just now is right. Naturally, we have not seen Chi Zhongrong with our own eyes, but he did rebel. Since he rebelled, we can suppress it. What else... do you want to do with these?"

"Haha, you think it's easy, okay! In this way, it is annoying and there is nothing to worry about. I just asked what you think of Chi Zhongrong. I also thought about your many answers in my heart and thought about how to ask questions again. But it's you, just one sentence makes me have nothing to say.

"Ha ha, it turns out that Brother Gong wants to test me? But that's what I think. As the saying goes, '*' without official pressure, it is naturally impossible for the people to reverse at once. In fact, this Chi Zhongrong's rebellion can't be simply seen. We don't know how long the contradictions have accumulated in it, and how can we analyze them clearly? But..."

Cao Muwen said here and changed his words, "Although Chi Zhongrong's rebellion cannot be simply treated as a bandit, but it must be done in the way of bandits. This is just the word bullet suppression. Because he has rebelled, as long as there is the word 'rebellious', since we can't simply analyze the rest, we won't analyze it. As long as he rebels, we will deal with the word 'repulsion'. And other things... we have to wait until all this is over. Cao Muwen said and sighed.

"Well... Brother Muwen, you're right." Gong Chen pondered for a moment and said so. After listening to what you said before, did you still think that you prevaried me? It's just a few words, which is really interesting. You're right. No matter whether he rebelled or was treated unfairly, he had rebelled. What can we do? Only he rebelled and we suppressed it. It's not us who really brainstormed, but those people far away in Beijing.

Gong Chen said here, and his tone suddenly turned small. It seemed that although there were no others here, he was also careful to slander the court.

"Haha, ouch! Brother Gong, be careful. It's a big crime to slander the court! Be careful of the brocade guard to come and get you!" Cao Muwen said with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Muwen, you are really interesting! There is no one else here except us, and how can there be... what kind of brocade guard?" Gong Chen also continued to "talk" with Cao Muwen while holding back his smile.

"Well... what you said makes sense. It seems that there can only be one explanation!" Cao Muwen suddenly said righteously, "I'm the brocade guard!"

"Ha ha, actually... me too!"

Hahahaha... After saying that, the two laughed at the same time.

"Okay... Well, let's catch each other..." Cao Muwen finally said so when the two walked to the door of the government office.

Although these two people in Nanchang City look very happy, this is not the case in Qutan Village hundreds of miles away. This is the base camp of "Golden Dragon Overlord" Chi Zhongrong. Although his insurgent army had occupied many counties after this incident, he still did not choose to station, but only sent his trusted brothers to lead some people to station there, and most of his and his right-hand men still took Qutan Village, which is not a big village as his own. Come to the camp.

Qutan Village is located in a narrow valley bottom, with mountains on both sides, and there are only two relatively low and flat mountain passes in the south and northeast. In fact, it is because of this natural advantage that Chi Zhongrong chose the so-called base camp of his rebel army here. All the achievements of his uprising over the past few days have been gathered here. Including the silver robbed from the captured state and county treasury, and the gold and silver found from the homes of those unkind landlords. Although there have been many rewards for him to his brothers, there are still many treasures that still belong to the "military" of the Rebel Army.

Now, Chi Zhongrong is standing in front of a tall granary in a good mood. This granary is not filled with grain, but the "military salary" treasury of the rebel army. It contains half of all the trophies obtained by the rebel army in these days. Because of such money, Chi Zhongrong gave it to his brother Chi Zhongyi. Although Zhongyi's martial arts were mediocre, he was honest and well-known. Although such money was the life of the rebel army, Chi Zhongrong still gave them to his brother without hesitation. Although he also thought that his behavior might make other leaders in the Rebel Army worried, Chi Zhongyi's reputation was still there. Chi Zhongrong believes that his brother can manage this "grain bin" well. I remember that he ordered someone to move all the belongings inside, and replaced the gate with a thick iron door plate inside and outside, and added three layers of big locks on it, all for the safety of these belongings. That night, Chi Zhongrong handed over three keys to Chi Zhongyi under the gaze of more than 40 leaders. In this way, everyone's doubts may be reduced.

Chi Zhongrong is now accompanied by his deputy Golden Nest, standing under this huge granary and watching. Although he was in a bad mood before, what happened to Zhan Shifu came to his ears on the third day. At that time, they were furious when they heard the news. Needless to say, the messengers sent by their desire were killed by those dog officials early. Unexpectedly, they killed Zhan Shifu, who planned to contact them to do big things together, and these thousands of brothers were purpped by the government.

This unfortunate news quickly spread in his shrimp villages, large and small, state and county, and cottages. Chi Zhongrong did not intend to block the news, because the blockade was also useless and would have adverse effects. The tighter the blockade, the more confused and fearful their brothers may be. Therefore, Chi Zhongrong announced the news in public at the conference the day after receiving the news, and solemnly led many leaders to look away in the direction of Damao Mountain to worship the spirits of thousands of brothers such as Zhan Shifu.
